When an officer, identified as Ohio State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Robison, learned of Ross's situation, he decided to drive Ross to visit his family.

"I broke down crying, and he saw the sincerity in my cry," Ross wrote in the viral post, which features a selfie of Ross and Robison. "He reaches over and began praying over me and my family," he described in the viral post.

Ross concluded his post with an admittance of his own struggle to embrace police enforcement.

But Sunday's events and the kindness of Sgt. Robison caused Ross to admit, "He gave me hope."
